Boeing Starliner


The Boeing CST-100 Starliner is a class of two partially reusable spacecraft designed to transport crew to the International Space Station (ISS) and other low-Earth orbit destinations. It is manufactured by Boeing for its participation in NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP). The spacecraft consists of a reusable crew capsule and an expendable service module. As of April 2022, Starliner has not flown a crewed mission.

The capsule has a diameter of 4.56 m (15.0 ft), which is slightly larger than the Apollo command module and SpaceX Dragon 2, and smaller than the Orion capsule. The Boeing Starliner holds a crew of up to seven people and is designed to be able to remain docked to ISS for up to seven months with the reusability of up to ten missions. It is designed to be compatible with the Atlas V, Delta IV, Falcon 9, and Vulcan Centaur launch vehicles.

After several rounds of competitive development contracts within the Commercial Crew Program starting in 2010, NASA selected the Boeing Starliner, along with SpaceX Crew Dragon, for the Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract round, with an award of US$4.2 billion in 2014.

In late 2019 the uncrewed Boeing Starliner Orbital Flight Test (Boe-OFT) launched with the Atlas V N22 and reached orbit but was not successful. NASA allowed Boeing a repeat test flight, Boe-OFT 2, which was to launch in August 2021 but was scrubbed before launch due to inoperable valves in the propulsion system. After replacing the spacecraft's service module, Boeing plans for OFT-2 to occur no earlier than May 2022.

The Starliner was designed to accommodate seven passengers, or a mix of crew and cargo, for missions to low-Earth orbit. For NASA service missions to the International Space Station, it will carry up to four NASA-sponsored crew members and time-critical scientific research. The Starliner has an innovative, weldless structure and is reusable up to 10 times with a six-month turnaround time. It also features wireless internet and tablet technology for crew interfaces.
